Association of the rate of torque development and joint angle with passive muscle stiffness

ConclusionsA greater relative RTD occurs at plantarflexed angles (i.e., the ascending limb of the force –length curve) in the triceps surae, and relative RTD is strongly related to passive MG stiffness at dorsiflexed angles (i.e., longer muscle lengths).
